“Chuck has his wingman back now,” Larson’s widow Sarah said on CNN’sNew Dayin August. “Chuck came home one day and he said, ‘I picked out my grave,’ and I went ‘Oh, okay.’ … He said, ‘By the way, John is going to be next to me.'”
Sarah continued, “That was 20 some years ago, and then all of a sudden, it hit that oh my goodness, they will be next to each other.”

“From the second that my father passed … I had to get in a car and a motorcade … from the moment I left, there were people of all races, all ages, all creeds, people saluting, praying … he would’ve loved it,” she said. “I cried the entire time. There was a lot of talk about what died with him … his ideals … but they didn’t.”
“My father always said, ‘We are Americans, and we can never surrender,’” she said. “I understand how scared and divided people are. You have to join me in never surrendering.”
